Brooke,
Your Mom was right about childhood. 
By today's standards everybody has a Dysfunctional family, thanks to Dr. Phil. 
In a 1950's childhood, we were only told that Uncle Bob was "A Juicer" and Cousin Jackie was "A Fairy"... I don't know anybody that grew up with Ward and June Cleaver at the helm, including Me, but life was much easier to understand back then, and childhood was pretty carefree...Our first house cost $3000.00. 
Be it ever so humble...
